Multiple Choice
A semi-annual pay interest rate swap where the fixed rate is 5.00% (with semi-annual compounding) has a remaining life of nine months. The six-month LIBOR rate observed three months ago was 4.85% with semi-annual compounding. Today's three and nine month LIBOR rates are 5.3% and 5.8% (continuously compounded) respectively. From this it can be calculated that the forward LIBOR rate for the period between three- and nine-months is 6.14% with semi-annual compounding. If the swap has a principal value of $15,000,000, what is the value of the swap to the party receiving a fixed rate of interest? Assume OIS rates are the same as LIBOR rates.
A) $74,250
B) −$70,760
C) −$11,250
D) $103,790
